  • Patent number: 10757579
    Abstract: Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. The MCN can be managed by a network management control center (NMCC). The NMCC can be configured generate coverage maps of the NOM and NMC system coverage areas.

  • Patent number: 10750423
    Abstract: Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.

  • Patent number: 10742610
    Abstract: A UE communicates with a network gateway to access a provisioning device via a provisioning network. The provisioning device uses identification data of the UE to authenticate the UE for a primary network, and provides primary network configuration data to the UE. Using the primary network configuration data, the UE communicates with the network gateway to access the primary network. The primary network configuration data can include data to enable the UE to establish communications with one or more private networks accessible via the primary network.

  • Patent number: 10631237
    Abstract: A mobile device can receive information blocks from one or more base stations, which can be emitted by the base stations within a particular radio band. The mobile device can identify base stations in an exclusivity state. The mobile device can establish a communication link with one of the base stations in the exclusivity state. In some cases, the mobile device can establish a communication link with the base stations that is in an exclusivity state and that matches a cell identifier stored on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10602410
    Abstract: A communication system can provide an independent mobile cellular network to devices within a covered area. In addition, the system can determine whether user equipment within a covered area of the communication system are to have backhaul access to another communication system and/or whether to adjust the point of presence of the user equipment.

  • Patent number: 10382393
    Abstract: A mobile cellular network (MCN) communication system can provide an independent mobile cellular network to devices within a covered area. In addition, the MCN communication system can communicate with other MCN communication systems using a wireless standard that is similar to the wireless standard used to communicate with user equipment within the covered area. In some instances, the MCN communication system can be registered as a user equipment of another MCN communication system and/or have another MCN communication system registered with it as a user equipment.

  • Patent number: 9848365
    Abstract: A method of dynamically configuring a first mobile network entity (that is included in a first mobile mobile-wireless network (MMWN)) includes: recognizing that one or more of the following conditions; and adjusting one or more aspects which affect how the first mobile network entity performs cellular-data communication according to the one or more satisfied conditions, respectively. Such conditions include: a change in location of the first mobile network entity; a change in location of at least one other mobile network entity that (1) has neighbor-status of yes relative to the first mobile network entity and (2) is included within a corresponding at least one other MMWN, respectively; and a change in neighbor-status of at least one other mobile network entity that is included within at least one other MMWN, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9848458
    Abstract: A wireless parameter-sensing node in a network thereof, the parameter-sensing node includes: sensors to sample values of parameters, respectively; a memory; a collection engine configured to: selectively collect data representing at least some of the sampled values, respectively; and store the collected data in the memory; an omega engine configured to: retrieve selected portions of the collected data from the memory; and send the selected portions to a remote host; wherein at least one of the collection, the storage, the retrieval and the sending are performable according to one or more reconfigurable collection-control criteria, one or more reconfigurable storage-control criteria, one or more reconfigurable retrieval-control criteria and one or more reconfigurable reporting-control criteria, respectively, stored in the memory. The parameter-sensing node and the remote host relate, e.g., as a taskee-client and a taskor-server, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9479632
    Abstract: Discretely-mobile parameter-sensing nodes, such as mobile phones, may be connected to a remote host. Each of the nodes is capable of sensing parametric values that are internal, and ambient to the node. The values may relate to atypical movement of a group of users, such as warfighters, that are associated with the nodes. Upon analysis of the atypical movement, the status (e.g., health) of a user associated with a node involved in such movement can be ascertained.
